Pros

AECOM employs some of the best technical minds in their corresponding fields. That has allowed the employees to leverage that expertise and book some of the most sophisticated and challenging projects around. That includes private sector and government. Great career opportunities are opening given the size and scope of projects.

Cons

All internal processes within AECOM lack credibility. For example, internal surveys for employees are only performed to allow them to vent, and are not really used to fix any problems. Top management blames employees anyway, and there is no real leadership. Performance reviews are completed by supervisors and the actual decisions are made by Human Resources who are clueless but they hold the power. Real estate decisions are performed by Corporate, and they have no idea of the work AECOM employees do their work so... moving to open space space (no offices) similar to call centers. The open space change will apply to everyone. My boss is on the phone all day shouting, not looking forward to it. If there are any good reviews on this page, ignore them ... its corporate.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
